This Project Grant award of $177,044 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research by the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) to analyze hurricane vortices using a recently developed mathematical framework called LIUTEX. The goal is to better understand how small-scale vortices within hurricane eyewalls relate to the overall hurricane structure and intensity, with the potential to improve hurricane forecasting. The research involves...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $167,227 to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) to advance research on the predictability of low-probability tropical cyclogenesis. The project aims to use conventional and AI techniques, ensemble forecasts, and advanced modeling to investigate the processes and predictability of tropical cyclone formation, particularly for weak waves in the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $701,663 to Florida State University to conduct collaborative research on the intensity and size relationship of tropical cyclones. The research aims to better understand this relationship through exploring how the inward radial loss rate of absolute angular momentum and effective absolute angular momentum values depend on environmental...
This $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to unravel the long-range predictability and environmental dependency of high-impact cyclones, such as hurricanes and nor'easters, using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The project aims to delineate the predictability limits of these dangerous storms, identify key atmospheric precursors, and probe the contributions of ocean, sea ice, and land...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program awarded a $777,109 project grant to the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) to study the structure, dynamics, and moisture budgets of tropical cyclones from the lower to upper troposphere. The project will leverage airborne Doppler radar observations, dropsonde measurements, satellite imagery, and high-resolution computer simulations to better understand the three-dimensional structure of the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $372,445 provides funding from May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research on the intensity and size relationship of tropical cyclones. The University of Maryland, College Park will train two Ph.D. students and one postdoc in atmospheric dynamics, modeling, and data science while working with an undergraduate student to launch experimental forecasts for tropical cyclone...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $698,967 to the University of Oklahoma will fund research to understand how the extratropical transition of hurricanes impacts tornadoes and their associated thunderstorms. The project aims to examine how tornado frequency and supercell characteristics vary with hurricane traits during the extratropical transition process using observational data analysis and high-resolution modeling. The research...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $409,127 provides funding from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026 to support collaborative research on hurricane risk amplification and changing North Atlantic natural disasters. The award is made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the funding will support research examining hurricanes...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to improve coastal community resilience to hurricane wind-related hazards and potential compounding hazards, such as power grid failures and extreme heat, in the Gulf Coast region of Texas and Louisiana. The $499,802 project, awarded on August 1, 2025, will leverage Doppler radar wind retrievals, near-surface wind measurements, high-resolution computer simulations, and artificial intelligence...
This $529,671 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant, awarded on October 1, 2023, supports research at the University of Arizona to comprehensively assess the processes governing over-ocean tropical cyclone weakening. The project aims to advance fundamental understanding of hurricanes that weaken while still over the ocean, rather than intensifying, in order to improve forecasting of these events and mitigate risks to vulnerable coastal populations. Key activities...
